DMCA Notice & Counter-Notice Procedure

This page describes our copyright-report policy and the notice-and-counter-notice procedure under 17 U.S.C. §512. It does not establish completed agent registration or entitlement to a legal safe harbor.

Copyright contact

Send copyright reports and questions to dmca@stagetile.com.

Designated-agent details pending. StageTile has not published verified designated-agent registration details here. This email contact does not establish registration with the U.S. Copyright Office.

The Copyright Office's public directory of designated agents is searchable at copyright.gov/dmca-directory.

Submitting a Notice of Alleged Infringement

A valid notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works at a single site are covered).
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit StageTile to locate it (a URL on stagetile.com is sufficient).
  4. Contact information for the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, email address.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

If a notice identifies the work, the material and its location, and a way to contact the sender but is otherwise incomplete, our policy is to promptly contact the sender or help obtain the missing elements.

Submitting a Counter-Notice

If material you posted has been removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, contact the copyright email above. A valid counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which StageTile may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.

A counter-notice includes your contact information and is forwarded to the complainant. Our policy is to promptly forward a valid counter-notice and advise the complainant of restoration in 10 business days, then restore access not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt, unless the designated agent first receives notice of a filed action seeking the relevant court order.

Repeat Infringers

Our policy is to terminate repeat-infringer accounts in appropriate circumstances. Include earlier report references when reporting repeated infringement.

Handling reports

Our policy is to act expeditiously on valid infringement notices and promptly notify the uploader after notice-based removal or disabling access. StageTile does not commit to a published response time measured in hours. This page states the policy; mailbox delivery, agent registration and actual handling must be established separately.
